Re:  Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This is a confidential submission for non-public view of a draft registration statement for Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (the “Issuer”). Pursuant to Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, Section 3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Section 2 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Issuer is an “emerging growth company,” which had annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion for the year ended 2011, its most recently completed fiscal year.
